Most beautiful and comfortable car I’ve owned

This car is not only beautiful but very comfortable. Easy to drive and reliable. It has everything I’ve ever wanted in a car and very economical. Only 4 cylinders! It had the right features... mini SUV looking with a sun roof. 4 cylinders... pretty & fancy looking. So far... my personal best car I’ve ever owned.

Great little SUV

We love our BMW X1. Pretty comfortable vehicle. Looks great outside. Excellent fit and finish. Drives great. Gas mileage on highway is over 35. Biggest gripe we have is the cup holders are too small

Really enjoying this car.

I really like the X1. The only thing I would change is that it not have run flat tires and less road noise. Run flats are expensive and don't last as long as traditional tires. However, I don't drive far so that's why I was willing to give it a shot.

Constantly have error codes.

Every month some darn error code comes up. Need oil (not oil change), tire pressure, emissions error, check engine. It's always something on this car. The car is nuisance. When it works it's great - but there's always something.

Awesome compact SUV

All the amenities of an x5 but smaller. The cabin of the vehicle is very roomy, lots of leg room, lots of leg room and visibility is great.

One of my most favorite cars

This car is sharp looking and met all mt needs. The only flaw it has and I fell is a hazard is that my front windshield is bi-level--- almost like bifocals. Looking out from the drivers seat, the windshield is normal; if you turn slightly to your right, the windshield is bi-level. Does anyone have this same issue?

Love this vehicle!

My X1 is the perfect vehicle for our family. Large enough to haul moderate amounts & small enough to handle. Drives like my 230i - very responsive, excellent handling.
